and, on a side note, it's tough to see why this is relevant to "sl," because his/her past posts note that he/she moved from Jackson Heights to Bayside back in the '90s because "it's nicer," and our neighborhood had become "too dirty" and "too ghetto."

If I read this correctly, they are opposing building more housing in the neighborhood?

This is the worst kind of pull-up-the-ladder NIMBYism: we get to live here, but we want to make sure no more people can live here. No more places to live! All full. But of course that's what leads to people being driven out and prices going up.

They are basically saying that if we build any more housing, rents will go up and people will be forced out. But of course, if we don't build any more housing, rents will go up ... which is what's happening right now.
